No, I’m pretty sure that’s normal. It went in during a fight, so the pain wouldn’t have been as noticeable. Now that he’s calm, he should be on an adrenaline/endorphin crash, and he has less to distract him from the pain.
He’s also sitting still the whole conversation. The knife may hurt simply being in his hand, but it won’t be as noticeable while it isn’t changing. Attention tends to fixate on novel sensations because they tend to require more urgent reactions. As long as the knife in his hand isn’t going anywhere, his body assumes he has plenty of time to come up with a solution and allows him to try to ignore it.

I think the ladies should have asked about more details,
like location, guards, fun, traps…
Also, where did the rhino go ?
it either vanished or went back into the bag for future use
It’s a circus. Presti’s rhino is probably already caged and selling tickets to the yokels right near the Egress ….
Given his reluctance to give any information at all, I assume they’re just cutting out now before someone else (Grinner) gets to them…
Not that they couldn’t beat him, but given all he knows about them, best to be on the safe side…
UNTHONK.
It fits the whole crazy bit that he shows more pain when it’s pulled out than when it’s in

Yeppers. Normal trauma response.
His hand is also gonna start bleeding more after that rude unthokking.
It was in for a quite a bit after it went in. The adrenaline wears off in the conversation sometime, witness his calm and collected speech.

He could’ve been a bit more helpful, but whatever, it’s not like that gold belongs to them…
unthonk. My new favorite word for the removal of sharp pointy things from an object.
It’s “UNTHOK” – there’s no N
…and I’m thokked that you could make that mistake…
thokked and thtunned. And not a little amathed.
Obscure Dragon magazine / Snarfquest reference alert!
Quack!
I just thought it was a nice reflection of the Thok when the blade went in two pages ago. THOK – UNTHOK.
I also just now realized that she’s coming in arse first in panel 2, and the impact sound effect is BADONK.
How do they know he’s not lying or that it’s not a trap?
It most likely is a trap, but they’re used to that by now
Since they are after the bait, they want the trap.
It’s always a trap, and the answer to the riddle is always teeth.
“All right, all right… sometimes it’s tongue.”
Apparently nobody has yet commented on the genius that is “a craze of derro”.
